The White House snubs the appeal of the Polish Nation to support the establishment of an international investigation of the Smolensk 2010 air crash.

The White House released its official department of state response describing its position on a petition filed with https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/ asking to support the Polish Nation appeal for an international investigation of the Smolensk 2010 air crash.

The statement (along with the original petition) can be found here and reads as following:

The White House has received your petition requesting support for an international investigation of the Polish Air Force Tu‑154 crash that occurred near Smolensk, Russia, on April 10, 2010. The people of the United States share your grief over this tragedy and regret the loss of life, including that of President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria. As President Obama stated on that terrible day, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kaczynski family, the loved ones of those killed in this tragic plane crash, and the Polish nation. Today's loss is devastating to Poland, to the United States, and to the world." During his trip to Poland in May 2011, President Obama visited the memorial to the victims at the Field Cathedral of the Polish Military in Warsaw, and expressed his condolences to the families of those lost in the crash.

In response to your petition, we note that the Polish and Russian governments each conducted their own investigations. In conducting their investigations, Poland and Russia agreed to follow the protocols of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which establishes the standards and recommended practices for civil aviation accident investigations. Both countries published the results of their investigations, which are available at the links below:

Here both Russian and Polish governmental reports are linked to which the reader is redirected.

The United States again expresses its deepest condolences to the Polish nation and all of the families affected by this tragedy.

--- Phil Gordon is Assistant Secretary of State for Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs

Firstly, The White House in its response rightfully notes that the Polish and Russian governments each conducted their own investigations. It suffices to say that the petition requested support in the Polish Nations appeal for an independent and international investigation of the Smolensk 2010 air crash, free from any conflict of interests.

Secondly, The aircraft was a Tupolev Tu-154M belonging to the 36th Special Aviation Regiment of the Polish Air Force, tail number 101. This means that the plane was of a military status, as indicated by its name Tu154M. On April 10th 2010 the Tu-154Mplaneon its flightfrom WarsawtoSmolensk, according toPolish regulationhad a flightstatusHEAD(information forair traffic control servicesthat on boardareone ofthe most important peoplein the country), according to theRussianlegislation the flight had a irregularinternationalflightstatusofcategory "A" (VIP). The crewof the Tu-154M plane consists of soldiers of the 36th Special Aviation Regiment of the Polish Air Force, and one officerofthe Government Protection Bureau, as additional member ofthe cabin crew.

And finally, both Russian and Polish governmental reports to which the reader is redirected by the White House have been proven to be false and misleading, presumable due to their inherent conflict of interests.

The White House has shown that it is not only oblivious to elementary knowledge connected to the Smolensk plane crash, but that it was also not bothered enough to check elementary information, leading us to conclude that in fact the White House couldn't care less about the death of Poland's President, a country supposedly to be one of the United States closest allies. By redirecting the reader to the Russian and Governmental reports the White House accepts and promotes facts contained in them and does not care for the truth - leaving us Poles, yet again, to ourselves.

If you find the list below to be incomplete and you would like to advise any corrections or additions please send them through and contact the administrater of the website.

1. Stefan Zielonka, a cryptographer and a non-commissioned officer, died on 12 April 2009. He was a specialistwith knowledge ofallNATOcommunications systems; he knew the entirenetwork ofPolishagents. The soldier of seemingly unblemished reputation disappeared without a trace one year and two days before the Smolensk crash. Suspected of working with Chinese intelligence, he was found floating at Warsaw's Wawer district about 26-27 April 2010 (17 days after the Smolensk crash). His wife reported him missing as late as after 7 days. As it turned out later, the ensign's wife also worked in the services and later disappeared without a trace.

2.Grzegorz Michniewicz, Director General of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, a man with access to the most secret intelligence and information, a member of the supervisory board at the Polish fuel giant  PKN Orlen. His driver found his body hanging on a noose the night of the 22 to 23 December  on the day TU-154 returned from the repairs conducted in Samara, the very same one that crumbledto smithereensin Smolensk. The Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw, which investigated the case for almost a year, said that Michniewicz committed a suicide. However, his family saw many irregularities in the workings of the Office. I see a lot of irregularities in the workings of the Prosecutor's Office, but this is far too painful for me and I do not want it to be belaboured in the media said one of the loved ones of the deceased. Nobody saw a potential suicide coming. The Director of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister called his wife a day before the alleged suicide to make meeting arrangements for the next day. He also sent text messages to his friends making plans. The death of Michniewicz was to a large extent kept quiet in the media.

3. Professor Stefan Grocholewski, an expert in reading digital data carriers discovered manipulations in the black boxes recordings of CASA. He died on 31 March 2010. ('CASA': The Mirosławiec air accident occurred in Poland on 23 January 2008 when an EADS CASA C-295 military transport plane crashed as it approached the Mirosławiec runway, killing all passengers and crew. The Polish Air Force plane had been flying from Warsaw to the 12th Air Base in Mirosławiec, and the 20 victims included high-ranking air force officers.)

4. A Lutheran bishop Mieczysław Cieślar, a bishop at the Warsaw Diocese of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession, died in a car crash on 18 April 2010, when he was on his way back from the memorial service of the Smolensk crash's victims. He was to succeed Adam Pilch, who died in Smolensk. The right-wing media reported that the cleric, just after the crash of the presidential Tupolev in Smolensk, was to receive a text message from the priest Adam Pilch (he died in Smolensk) saying that they survived the crash. Cieślar was working on the surveillance issues of protestant circles by the Security Service of the People's Republic of Poland. The media did not mention anything about Cieślar's death.

5.Krzysztof Knyż died on 2 June 2010 in Moscow on sepsis (according to the official reports). What is interesting, the western press reported that he had been murdered in his own apartment. He was a camera operator for Fakty in TVN. He worked with Wiktor Bater, a Polsat News correspondent, in Smolensk during the crash. He was to be the one who recorded the final approach of the presidential plane to the airport in Smolensk. He was one of the first reporters who managed to arrive at the crash site, before the Russian special forces forced them to leave the area. Supposedly, he was able to record the emergency landing/approach/decent of the TU-154 plane. Was the film he recorded the true cause of Knyż's death? The media did not look for the answer. TVN, the employer of the deceased operator, published only a short announcement about his death.

6. On 6 June 2010, Professor Marek Dulinicz died in a car crash. He was the head of the archaeology department, which was to leave for Smolensk soon to commence research at the Tu-154M crash site. Dulinicz was to be the initiator of this expedition. He was actively trying to accelerate the matter. The archaeology mission in Smolensk took place five months after his death. The research, works and findings of the Polish archaeologists sent to Smolensk were conducted for the purpose of the Russian, not the Polish Prosecution, meaning that each and every finding that constituted evidence in the investigation to determine the causes of the crash had to be handed over to the Russians immediately. The death of Dulinicz was not reported in the context of other mysterious deaths after the crash.

7. In June 2010 Siergiej Tretjakov dies in the United States. A refugee from Russia, former KGB and SVR agent, who started working with the Americans in 2000. According to the reporters of the Italian weekly L'Espresso, as also subsequently reported by Nasza Polska, international observers do not believe the death of the former SVR agent was due to natural causes, who was to die of a heart attack (at one time it was reported that he died after choking on a piece of meat). From the documents published by WikiLeaks it follows that agent Tretjakov corresponded with the Stratfor editor in chief. In the correspondence, he reconstructed the events of 10 April 2010 near Smolensk. 12 days after the crash he stated: The Russians have such plans (scenarios), to kill other western leaders, and possible to be executed and performed. Tretjakov also noted that bad relations between Vladimir Putin and Lech Kaczyński were not a secret. The topic was picked up by the foreign media, but the Polish media kept silent.

8. On 15 October 2010 the body of Eugeniusz Wróbel was found cut into pieces in the Rybnicki Lake. This Smolensk-related death seems to be the most dramatic and inspires the most questions. Wróbel was an outstanding expert, working among other on aviation matters. In some fields, he was recognized as the best specialist in Poland. His expertise concerned the computer air traffic control systems, precise satellite navigation for aviation, aviation law and regulations. He was the deputy minister for transport in Law and Justice (PiS) government. According to the findings of the Prosecution, he was killed and cut up by his own son, who later firstly admitted to the murder, but later denied it. The son was immediately declared insane and isolated for psychiatric observation. Until Wróbel's death, his model family was a considered exemplary. Nothing pointed out to the mental illness of the son. The room, in which he was to commit the murder, had no traces proving that he cut his father up in there using a saw. It is hard to imagine one cutting his own father up with a saw, and later restores the room to perfect cleanliness. His mother, a psychiatrist, failed to notice the poor condition of the mentally ill son. Minister Wróbel, the expert at the parliamentary commission analysing the causes of the Smolensk crash, managed to formulate a lot of critical opinions about the crash. He believed that the remnants of the plane, stored in Smolensk, are actually the remnants of Tu-154 M 102, not 101. Eugeniusz Wróbel was to express his beliefs in private conversations with his friends. The information appeared in certain circles before his death.

9.Dariusz Szpineta, a professional pilot and piloting instructor, expert and president of the aviation company AD Astra Executive Charter SA, was found dead in the bathroom of a holiday resort in India in December 2011, whilst on holiday - a death by hanging. He also wrote a famous article at niezależna.pl, entitled: Operation Smolensk Lie, in which he proved that the flight to Smolensk was a military flight, and not a civil one as concluded by the Russian and Polish governmental investigation reports into the cause of the crash. Before his death, he spoke to the media a few times about Smolensk, questioning the official findings. His 13 friends from the group that went to India say that before his death he was in a good mood. At this time, one of the Polish special forces units were present in India taking part in specialised trainings. http://youtu.be/phTPN_oftr0

10. In 2011, an officer of the Military Counter-intelligence Service, working with the ICT Support and Command Centre of the Navy in Wejherowo committed was found dead hanged. The soldier had the highest access to confidential materials.

11. On 6 June 2011, a former communication department employee at LOT died. He knew the details of the operation of the ACARS system in Poland. After the crash of two Polish light aircrafts in Asturia, in the north of Spain, on 6 June 2011, the media reported that the list of deceased included a famous Polish architect, Stefan Kuryłowicz.According to one of the aviation experts, what was not reported, though, was the fact that one of the victims was a former communication department employee at LOT. Tu-154M had a device on board, which contains the answers to the question, what was happening with the plane in its last moments, working with i.e. the on-board FMS computer and the terrain Awareness and Warning System.

12. General Sławomir Petelicki, founder and former head of the Grom unit. He was found dead on 16 June 2012. On numerous occasions he openly criticised the findings of the State Commission on Aircraft Accidents Investigation and the fact that the Polish government was dilatory in establishing the causes of the Smolensk crash. After the crash, General Sławomir Petelicki stated to the press that politicians from the governing party (Civic Platform) received a text message with instructions on what to say: The crash was caused by the pilots, who went down below 100 meters. It remains to be determined who made them do it. According to Petelicki, the author of the text message was one of three: Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister Tomasz Arabski or the government spokesperson, Paweł Graś. Petelicki had a lot of information about these people, he often pointed out who should be dismissed from a certain position, and who should be appointed instead to make the Poland-NATO relations tighter. He died from shooting wounds. At the beginning, media reported 4 shots in the back, later correcting the reports to 1 shot. First it was reported that it was a shot to the temple, then to the face, and later  a shot to the head. In the end the media reported a shot to the back of the head. If it is true that Sławomir Petelicki shot himself in the back of the head and as a result of the shot, the medulla oblongata was damaged or broken, we are certain that the Russians are responsible (GRU). A shot to the back of the head, into the medulla oblongata, is intended to cause short but unimaginable pain before death. Actually, the body shuts down due to unimaginable pain. It is a killing technique combined with incurring pain typical for the Soviets.

13. The ensign Remigiusz Muś died during the night from Saturday to Sunday 27 October 2012. He was a major witness in the Smolensk investigation, an on-board technician of Jak-40 plane that carried journalists, landing at the Smolensk airport on 10 April 2010, shortly before the Smolensk crash (thus landing at the Smolensk an hour before the Tu154M crash). The Spokesperson of the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw, Dariusz Ślepakura, informed that supposedly there were no traces on the body that would indicate participation of third parties. However, no farewell letter was found, which could indicate that the ensign committed suicide. Muś was another important witness in the Smolensk investigation, who died in mysterious circumstances. Remigiusz Muś revealed for example that during their decent and approach for landing, on April 10th, the tower controller ordered them to go down to 50 meters. The on-board technician from Jak-40 ensured that he heard an identical command given to the crew of TU-154M by the control tower (He was listening in from a head set within the Jak-40 cockpit). Remigiusz Muś, who was a crew member of Jak-40 together with Lieutenant Artur Wosztyl (first pilot) and Lieutenant Rafał Koleczko, also said that he heard two explosions just before the crash of the presidential Tupolev plane. At the time he stated he was unable to recognise the source and cause of the explosions.

14. Professor Urbanowicz, 61 years old, died two days after a report was published, that the State Election Committee servers were located in Russia and operated by Russian IT specialists. Preliminary results of elections were transferred to Russia, filtered and then returned to Poland. He was the co-organiser of the first expert Smolensk conference: http://smolenskcrash.eu/news-45-lets-allow-the-evidence-to-speak-for-itself.html

15.In November 2012, an officer of the Government Protection Bureau (BOR), Adam A., a bomb disposal expert, died in Kazakhstan. Until August 2012 he secured the governmental planes Tu-154M. Lieutenant Adam A was not on the list of BOR officers allocated to secure the Polish delegations to Katyn on 7 and 10 April 2010  Adam A. did not participate in the reception of the Tu-154M plane repaired in the Russian Samara in December 2009. However, before and after, the BOR bomb disposal experts inspected Tu-154M planes, used by the state delegations. In August 2012 he was allocated to secure the Polish consulate in Alma Ata. Adam A. died in Alma Ata. He was beaten up two days before his death. Warsaw's Prosecutor's Office is now conducting an investigation to determine the causes of his death.

Please watch the actual footage from minutes after the plane crash, recorded with a mobile phone, by an eye witness who happened to be on site of the crash. Due to many discrepancies related to this footage it cannot be determined who took and recorded this video, nor their whereabouts. http://youtu.be/4rn4YXinczw

"The dismantlement of the stateis over, now peoplewill start to disappear." - Janusz Kurtyka, President of the Institute of National Remembrance (died in Smolensk Russia on 10th April 2010)

Obama still hasn't forgiven the Poles for John III Sobieski's breaking of the siege of Vienna in 1683. The Muslims were this close to getting a toehold in the Holy Roman Empire, and the Poles stopped them.
